Answer:
c. 3
Explanation:
The unbalanced reaction expression is given as:
Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃
To balance the expression gives the coefficient of oxygen.
Assign the coefficients a,b, c and use a mathematical approach to solve this problem:
aFe + bO₂ → cFe₂O₃
Conserving Fe: a = 2c
O: 2b = 3c
Now let c = 1, a = 2, b =
Multiply through by 2,
a = 4, b = 3 and c = 2
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
The coefficient of O₂ is 3
Answer:
it is not correct I have an answer for ''why''
Explanation:
You need to balance it
s= 2
0=2
S+30•2 --------> SO•3
2 2 2 2
S +3O•2-------->SO•2......MULTIPLY
2 4 2 4......LCM IS 4
2 1 2 1....DIVIDE BY 4
SO NOW WE GOT THE BALANCE NO. WE CAN PUT IT IN THE EQUATIONS.
2S+3O•2 -----> 2SO•3
now you can check the both sides its balances the correct answer is this
No because they have the same number of protons not neutrons. fine, their mass nos are equal but isotopy is due to different number of neutrons.
